I would like to point out that the Prophecies storyline was basically one of misread Prophecies. After all, it was our heroes that helped the Lich in the end! Because they did not know better.
I tell you, the destroyers are nice guys that want to save us from the dragon menace that we help to hatch by protecting this baby dragon in the Challenge Mission. Or maybe there will be good dragons and bad dragons, who knows.
As GW's storyline is always awfully "inspired" by pop culture, I can imagine a world threatend by dragons like in "Reign of Fire". Dragons and/or Destroyers would be the common enemy of the 5 different factions that wage war against each other as well.

That is a very cute theory... but obviously clearly incorrect for the following two (resounding) reasons:
1. First and foremost, Destroyers attacked everything, not just dragons (such as baby Glint). In fact the first quest to start EOTN regardless of your starting continent is to keep the destroyers from attacking the surface (see 'What Lies Beneath' - Tyria, 'I Feel the Earth Move Under Cantha's Feet' - Cantha, and 'Hole of Istan' - Elona). Also the reason that we see the rats, ooze, and the entire Asuran race is because the Destroyers destroyed their home and pushed them onto the surface.
2. Secondly, if Destroyers are good and Dragons are bad... then why the hell wouldn't the destroyers turn around and kick the crap out of the dragon that is right behind them?!
Which leads me to my conclusion and back the OP. Lets look at your "reasons" why you believe that dragons are all bad (lol) and add a little bit of intellect, some general knowledge about Guild Wars lore, and last but certainly not least logic.
I believe that GW2 will be basically a war between good dragons and bad dragons. Here are some logical reasons that I believe this to be true.
1. Destroyer dragon (at the end of EOTN) is bad, hence the destroyers.
2. Drakkar dragon (dragon in drakkar lake) is bad, hence Jora's brother.
3. Charr dragon (the back is in charr land) is bad, Charr are evil (this one is an assumption but not known).
4. Glint is good (protector of Tyria and revered by the Forgotten who are clearly good, helps defeat Titans which are evil).
5. Kuunavang is good (Helped defeat Shiro and is corruptable so in natural state must be inherently good).
6. Baby Glint (see Glints Challenge) is good as the destroyers (evil) try to kill it and it is the child of Glint.
So we already have a dichotomy of good and evil dragons well established and we know that EOTN is supposed to bridge the gap between GW1 and GW2, so it is safe to assume that GW2 will probably be about (or at least contain) a fight between the aforementioned good dragons and their counterpart the evil dragons.
